NSFF | Slapstick Saturday: Harold Lloyd’s GIRL SHY

Netherlands Silent Film Festival
Sat 17 Jan 19:30

Slapstick Saturday at Natlab as part of the Silent Film Festival. This time featuring Harold Lloyd’s Jazz Age romantic comedy GIRL SHY from 1924.


Lloyd plays a young man trying to overcome his fear of women by writing a book called The Art of Seduction. On his way to the publisher, he meets a girl who slowly helps him build confidence. But when his insecurity gets the better of him, she ends up engaged to a villain. What follows is a dizzying chase full of bizarre stunts to stop the wedding just in time.

When the film was released in 1924, it was so popular that cinemas kept screening it for weeks on end to packed houses. And what better way to accompany a Jazz Age film than with a swinging score performed live by a large jazz ensemble with musicians from the Netherlands and abroad, led by film pianist Daan van den Hurk.

Before the main feature, as every year, a selection of short comedies will be shown, starring greats like Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy.

A unique program full of humor, romance and excitement for all ages.

Netherlands Silent Film Festival
The Netherlands Silent Film Festival (NSFF) in Eindhoven is the largest film festival in the country dedicated to silent film. In this original form of cinema, stories are told without words, but through emotion, expression, and music. That’s what makes it so unique.
